Waka Waka 歌词
Oooeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehh
You're a good soldier
Choosing your battles
Pick yourself up and dust yourself off
And back in the saddle
You're on the frontline
Everyone's watching
You know it's serious
We're getting closer
Chorus:
This isn't over
The pressure's on;
You feel it
But you got it all; believing
When you fall; get up,
oh oh
And if you fall; get up,
eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
cause this is Africa
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
Listen to your god;
This is our motto
Your time to shine
Dont' wait in line
Y vamos por Todo
People are raising
Their Expectations
Go on and feed them
This is your moment
Chorus:
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
Anawa aa
Tsamina mina eh eh
Waka waka eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
Chorus:
Tsamina mina, eh eh
Waka waka, eh eh
Tsamina mina zangalewa
This time for Africa
Do dooooo dooo
Our history teaches us that the world champions usually wear the colours blue, white or red and that the Cup nearly always goes to the host continent. But beyond history,
there are many stories that can be told about the 32 countries who are coming to South Africa for the biggest event on the planet and it is to be hoped that this long and colourful history, the mix of cultures and peoples that makes up our Rainbow Nation will enrich the tournament and the visitor's experience
